Montenegro: Parliamentary elections October 14

New majority will take country into the EU

(ANSAMed) - PODGORICA, JULY 31 - Parliamentary elections will
be held on October 14, Montenegro's President Filip Vujanovic
said on Tuesday.

The previous parliament was disbanded last Thursday, eight
months early. Montenegro must now choose a new majority, whose
main task will be to finalize its adhesion to the EU.

EU leaders on June 26 voted to begin adhesion negotiations
with Montenegro, which has been independent since 2005. The
ruling Democratic Party of Socialists would garner 44% of the
vote and the opposition Socialist People's Party would get 17%
of votes, according to preliminary surveys. (ANSAMed).
